A player doing occupations can gain certain rewards from them. The most important rewards are special items that massively increase your regeneration for a short time but can only be used outside of combat. However, doing occupations also earns you small amounts of dapper, and can give you items that help with the occupations themselves as well as a special teleport pact.
You will earn dapper whenever you complete a task from the component gathering mission. How much dapper you earn is the same for every occupation and depends on the grade you are in the occupation: At higher grades, you automatically get more difficult component gathering missions, which reward you with more dapper.
Listed below is the amount of dapper you get per task:
Note: The dapper is not the primary reason for doing component gathering missions; the primary reason is getting the components you need for the occupation. The dapper is more of a little extra bonus.
These are the main reason for doing occupations. Every occupation has it's own unique products. Of the 8 occupations ingame, 7 of these produce items that enhance certain regenerations, and the last one produces items that increase your success chance in crafting.
For every grade you have in an occupation, you can create these products once every 20 hours, provided you have the required components. How good the products you create are depends on the grade, and how many of them you create depends on the recipe you use.

All items created with occupations have a re-use time. This re-use time is the time that must pass after using the item before you can use another occupation item, including items created by another occupation. Thus you cannot use items of different occupations together.
Also, higher grade occupation items give a better bonus, but also have a longer re-use time. So using the highest grade item is not always the best choice.
Some outposts produce flowers that also aid regeneration. The difference between these flowers and the items created with occupations, is that the flowers give a very small bonus to regeneration that lasts for a full hour, while the occupation products give a huge bonus to regeneration that only lasts 10 seconds.
Every occupation has it's own special item, and practising an occupation allows you to get that occupation's special item once every 2 days from the occupation master.
For the 4 harder occupations, the special item is a teleporter pact to Almati Wood. For Butcher and Medic this is a Kami pact, and for Larvester and Scrollmaker a Karavan pact, but this only affects which side of the Ranger camp you end up in.
Note that the Ranger camp in Almati Wood has NPCs that can teleport you to any capital in which you have an occupation, so these pacts can also be used as a "teleport pact to any capital where you have an occupation".
For the 4 easier occupations, the special item is something that helps with occupations itself. Three of these items help with improving components, and the fourth one helps with actually practising your occupation.
You can chose to use up a lucky flower when you start an upgrade action to increase your chances of succeeding in the upgrading.
You can chose to use up an amber of protection when you fail an upgrade action to prevent the loss of 2 basic components.
You can chose to use up a stimulating water when you succeed an upgrade action to get 4 upgraded components instead of 2.
You can chose to use up an improved tool when you start practising your occupation (only with basic components) to give you +10% yield on that item creation.
